This husband and father of two sons turned a one chair shop into an 11 seater and we just had to have him on Team GIBS. Meet Steve Vilot, and grab a pen.
Describe yourself in five words: Dad, husband, barber, friend and sex symbol.
You made it to Team GIBS. What’s your secret? I’m a 26 year, overnight success story. Write and draw your dreams on paper in details. My dreams have appeared. over and over and over.
What are you known for? I grew up in a small town; I had to take care of everybody. Age, race, short, long, beards and shaves. I have found my hair tricks cross over; the real depth comes through.
What do you want us to know about you? I love to cut hair. I’m constantly visualizing to the flow. It’s a live instant art project. I was in the business for 13+ yrs when I was featured in Milady Textbook. Then I started working for the Art of Shaving doing popup shaves in store. Working in New York and Boston regularly changed my world. I was hired to teach P!nk how to do a fake shave for a movie in which she plays a barber. Next thing I know I’m on tour with Eminem... then Dave Mathews. It’s been fun.
Favorite GIBS combo? Hitman Texturizing Spray and Outlaw Hair Spackle. I do three to four sprays of Hitman and blow-dry… another three to four sprays, more blow dry. Then light with Outlaw. It rocks. Every time.
Tips for aspiring barbers/stylists coming up in the game? I have been gifted the ability to take my tools across the world because I put in 110%. Don’t treat this profession as a side hustle.
How you enjoying Team GIBS? The GIBS family is something I didn’t see until it happened. It’s Merry Christmas, Happy New Year AND Thanksgiving with 20plus like-minded hair professionals. It’s powerful.
Eminem, Dave Matthews… You do a lot of big names. Surprisingly, they have a hard time finding a barber to take care of the whole crew. That’s why the small town barber is a great fit to take care of them all. With Dave Mathews, I do 62 people, from Dave to the bus driver. With Eminem, I do 16 people and my favorite is shaving Paul Rosenberg’s head. Paul is Em’s manager and CEO of Def Jam Records. They take me around the world to do it.
What makes a great barber/stylist? Passion to cut, shave and style your friends. Everyone that sits in my chair is an instant friend.
You bring more to the table: I tour as a barber and I love it. I have two shops in my hometown of Pittsfield, Massachusetts and started my new chapter in October 2017, with Barber Authority Nashville. Stay tuned!!!

My encounter with a fraudulent online investment scheme left me reeling with disbelief and despair. I had invested a substantial sum of $203,000 worth of Bitcoin, trusting that it would secure me a steady income through weekly payouts and interest. Initially, everything appeared promising—the platform showed me my growing balance, reinforcing my belief that I was on a path to financial security. However, when I tried to initiate a withdrawal, the company threw up unwarranted barriers, preventing me from accessing my funds. Despite my persistence and compliance with their increasingly unreasonable demands, I found myself trapped in a web of deceit with no way out. The realization that I had fallen victim to a scam was devastating. The money I had invested represented years of hard work and careful savings. Its loss not only shook me financially but also took a toll on my emotional well-being. I felt betrayed, angry at myself for being duped, and overwhelmed by the sheer hopelessness of the situation. Thoughts of despair and hopelessness clouded my mind, and I struggled to see a way forward. A friend came to my rescue. They had heard of others who had faced similar situations and successfully recovered their funds with the help of FAYED HACKER. Initially hesitant and wary of trusting another online entity, I weighed my options. The prospect of reclaiming my lost savings eventually outweighed my doubts, prompting me to reach out to FAYED HACKER.

I had a lot of optimism going into business with this company and future plans for myself when I started earning. Initially i wanted to subscribe the top tier plan hoping to accumulate as much earnings as possible but the rep initially discouraging me from just enthusiastically jumping to the top, told me that this was a company of integrity and they propose to build with me, as well as my trading history. I’m not trying to pull the wool over anyone’s eyes, and I liked that the rep’s position was, start small and grow big with time. That’s how I got ensnared into their net. So I started with a much lesser package and when I saw everything went according to what they promised, only then did I proceed to elect the highest tier investment program with an expected growth of 5% fixed ROI throughout my time with the company. That being said, you are at the mercy of these people to properly utilize your funds and remit back both profits and initial capital to you as agreed upon. According to their trade regulations, Every withdrawal request has to go through a 3 day processing time. All you’re required to do is place the request, this is something anyone can do even from their sleep yet I encountered some unexplainable complications while attempting to withdraw my balance. They also told me that I had to remit some payment on different occasions to have the request approved. A friend recommended I recruit the services of JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE which have proven to be highly effective in resolving situations like mine. Thankfully their efforts worked out as they had my assets traced and recouped from the fraudulent company, I have no idea how they pull something difficult as this but am thankful they did, it saved my life from destruction. I think everyone’s situation is different, but they have experience dealing with all kinds, so you can as well reach out to them for help should you be experiencing something similar to this situation, they’re available on Email : JETHACKS @ GM AIL . COM and on Telegram via the username @ JETHACKSS
The notorious “Bitcoin Bandit” had eluded authorities for years, amassing a massive digital fortune by hacking into cryptocurrency exchanges and digital wallets. But the tides have finally turned, as an elite team of cybersecurity experts and blockchain analysts, known as the “Cyber Genie Hack Pro” has managed to track down and recover money from these hackers and fake crypto exchanges. The operation was a masterclass in high-tech sleuthing, with the team painstakingly tracing the complex web of anonymous transactions and shell companies used by the Bitcoin Bandit to hide his tracks. Through advanced forensic blockchain analysis, intelligent pattern recognition, and sheer dogged determination, they could follow the digital breadcrumbs back to the hacker’s secret lair. Once the crypto bandit’s identity and location were uncovered, a carefully coordinated sting operation was launched, catching the unsuspecting criminal off guard and allowing authorities to seize every last satoshi of his ill-gotten gains. This landmark victory is a major win not just for the victims who will be compensated, but for the entire cryptocurrency community, sending a clear message that even the wiliest cyber-thieves cannot evade justice forever. The “Cyber Genie Hack Pro” team has proven that with enough skill, resources, and perseverance, even the most sophisticated digital heists can be unraveled and the stolen funds returned to their rightful owners. I was a victim of crypto theft, and having given “Cyber genie hack pro” the chance to help, I was glad they did as they promised me. I just wanted to let you know that this professional hacker and private investigators team is always on standby to help you.

Thanks.
One of the best decisions I ever made was to contract JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE INC, to help me resolve my challenges with a foreign investment company. Long story short, the team successfully traced and recovered my initial capital investment but unfortunately, the profits I believed to be mine were just a numbers game thus the reason why a payout wasn’t happening. All in all, I am very grateful to this team, their profound support saved me from destruction. Involving a superior enforcement is what changed everything, the team revealed the scammers whole game plan upon consultation and I was never going to get paid no matter how much i invested. They made my problems theirs and handled my case diligently. I honestly can’t believe the honesty and integrity I experienced in dealing with this company and its team of excellent hackers. There was no sales pitch, just straight up advice on what they do and kept constant contact with me as they continue to fight to recover my funds. Staff wise; every single staff I spoke with were very professional, friendly, respectful, honest in explaining stuff to you. They restored my financial dignity and status. I with a heartbeat will recommend to anyone who has issues in their respective financial ventures and now experiencing some unforeseen difficulties in regaining possession of their funds to contract this great recovery company “ JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE “ on Email : JETHACKS 7 AT GMAIL DOT COM or on Telegram via their official account user @ JETHACKSS, You will not regret it. It will be the best decision you will make in life. Restore your financial dignity and status one more time. Give yourself a second chance regardless of how bad or difficult you think your case might be, JETHACKS Team got your back, trust me.
The results are good. If getting your funds swiftly recovered is your goal, this is your company. Their system is “no frills”. Here’s the kicker, once they accept your case, then it is 100 percent guaranteed to be recovered successfully, their team is the best. This is the difference between JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE and the rest other recovery firms. Previously I had used one recovery company and also a recovery agent before now, both ended up finessing me out of the little money I had left. This team offers you transparency and accountability for each step deployed during the process of recovery and their process is designed to accurately attack your specific situation. As far as actual recovery goes, JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE system is always more effective, quote me anywhere!. They took the time with me going over my case and how best to proceed to ensure the funds is surely repossessed from the scammers account. I entered an agreement with a certain investment platform in good faith but in the end, they tried to play some underhanded tricks to avoid holding up to their end of the agreement. After about 4 months of engaging their services, their payment gateway suddenly stopped working automatically and when I tried to work it out with the Admin, They pressed me for more payment because the Admin would not authorize me in withdrawing my payments, but instead I had to clear some series of fees to the point where I couldn’t afford the next one. So I was forced to explore alternative means to possibly recover my assets and that was how I luckily found great reviews speaking highly of this team and how they’ve been very helpful in resolving cases like mine.. I hoped they’d help in my situation as well so I consulted their services using their contact details i got online, Email : JETHACKS 7 @ GMAIL . COM and Telegram ID @ JETHACKSS , thankfully they responded back, accepted my case and restored happiness to my miserable life within 48 hours. I can only say Tremendous things about this team, you can contact them as well to assist you.
